Patient's question:
What is the matter with a 9-month-old child who initially had a cough and now also has diarrhea?Medical history and treatment effectiveness: The child visited a pediatrician and took some medication.
What kind of help is desired: What could be the cause?
Doctor's answer:
A baby who has been coughing for more than nine months is usually due to a cold or bronchitis. Generally, a cold or bronchitis causing cough can also interfere with intestinal function, leading to mild nausea and vomiting. Additionally, taking oral medication usually results in some gastrointestinal side effects, so nausea and vomiting may occur. It is important to drink more water to prevent dehydration. If the nausea and vomiting are severe, oral medication can be used for treatment.
